tinubu has so far shot himself with his several moves against oppositions. The worse move tinubu will make is if the judiciary pass a judgement against the David mark led leadership of the ADC. WE ARE ADC! |

Britishcoins:Are you minding these Tinubu supporters with their nonsense propaganda? All the indices that Peter Obi is better than Tinubu in governance is there for all to see even in character, but logic, intelligence, common sense needs to be thrown away to support Tinubu.

Since Peter Obi joined ADC, everybody wants to join too even when INEC and the judiciary are used to fight ADC. Imagine people are joining AD. even when they face the hurdles and challenges set by INEC, APC and the judiciary. |

Peter Obi - a man that defiles Nigeria's version of leadership. - Dele Farotimi[/quote Una din start again.... oga cool down..... every governor has thier achievement but when una begin to add vanilla flavour hmmm. We'll. This the fact I found out about what you wrote. Short answer: that list is a mix of facts, exaggerations, and some claims that are disputed or not verifiable. Peter Obi did have a reputation for fiscal discipline and reforms, but not everything on that list is fully accurate as stated. Here’s a clearer, fact-checked breakdown: ✅ Generally TRUE (but sometimes overstated) Debt reduction & savings: Obi is widely credited with improving Anambra’s finances. He reduced debt and left significant savings (often reported around ₦30–₦70 billion plus some foreign currency). The exact figures vary depending on the source. Investment in education: Anambra performed very well in WAEC/NECO rankings during his tenure. His administration supported schools (including mission schools). Healthcare & education projects: He built and upgraded hospitals and schools, though the exact numbers (e.g., 178 PHCs, 18 general hospitals) are likely inflated. Security improvement: He worked with security agencies and community leaders to reduce crime, especially compared to the period before his tenure. Frugal lifestyle image: He was known for modest personal style (e.g., simple cars), though the specific “406 and Innoson only” claim is more symbolic than strictly documented. ⚠️ PARTLY TRUE / NEEDS CONTEXT “No contractor or worker was owed” Not fully verifiable. Governments typically have ongoing obligations, though he may have reduced arrears. “Cleared ₦36 billion debt” He restructured and reduced debt, but whether it was fully “cleared” is debated. “Built Government House” He completed and moved into a Government House, but the project had a history before him. “Brewery employing 3000” Obi attracted investments (like SABMiller in Onitsha), but job figures like 3000 are likely exaggerated. “Didn’t award contracts to family” / “wife had no influence” These are reputation-based claims, hard to independently verify fully. ❌ UNCERTAIN / LIKELY EXAGGERATED Exact number of hospitals/PHCs (18 + 178) No strong public records confirming those exact figures. “Obasanjo stayed 1 week in Onitsha because of peace” Olusegun Obasanjo did visit Anambra, but this specific story is not well documented. “Invited anti-graft to audit before leaving” Not widely confirmed in official records. “Worked as SEC chairman without pay” There’s no solid evidence he served as SEC chairman; this claim is incorrect. 🟢 Widely ACCEPTED ABOUT HIS TENURE Focus on saving money and limiting borrowing Emphasis on education and human capital Encouragement of private-sector investment Reputation for less flashy governance compared to peers Bottom line That list is political messaging, not a clean historical record. Peter Obi did perform relatively well in fiscal management and reforms, but: Some achievements are real but exaggerated Some are partly true but simplified A lot are unproven or false |
